I’ve been seeking out a certain line, a vein. It’s a squiggly line ~~~~~ an uneconomic line, like an excess of time allowed for the line to be dragged. The pencil is held with slack. The line meanders towards its destination.

The spider vein is the wandering line that is too old to care ~ that has lost a destination and keeps going.

The spider crawls up the wall ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ spider dance. The spider makes a line that is not necessarily choice. The drawn squiggly is not necessarily a choice, but tension held in the body.
I’ve tried to draw a line like veins crawling up the legs of old men and old ladies in their old swimsuits on the old beach, getting older. This is not a streamline.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There’s a relationship in the line between time and tension. The spider vein is on vacation time. Its tension is drawstring tension. The line defines the relationship: body to out-of-body, bound-self to unbound projection.The line says, “I am the spider, you are the web.”varicose ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ varicose ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ varicose
